FASHION DESIGNS PRESENTED BY SHIH CHIEN UNIVERSITY

The Department of Fashion Design (SCFD) was established in 1961 and is the oldest department at Shih Chien University, as well as the first domestic higher education institute of fashion design in Taiwan. The department belongs to our College of Design, which was voted as one of the “Best Design Programs” in the world by US Business Week in 2007 and reviewed as one of the 30 best design schools in the world by Ranker.com in 2014.

With a focus on creation and design, SCFD aims to cultivate the student‘s ability to explore and design with independent thinking whilst developing professional fashion design skills. Combining theoretical learning with important practical skills and design development, they aim to widen the students horizons by giving them broad knowledge of the many fashion disciplines.

The students have established an impressive track record over the years and gained a fabulous reputation among international competitions. In 2013 Mr. Till Fang (alumnus 2013) joined ESNE Entramados Fashion Show 2013, the biggest fashion event in Spain and won the “Grupo Cortefiel Award” for best International Collection. The graduates have also won first prize of the International Catwalk Competition at London Graduate Fashion Week 2013, 2014 and 2015.

In 2013, SCFD started the practical platform “PRAXES” combining a regular curriculum with links to the fashion industry. The program provides students with real world experience in practical design, production and marketing whilst learning how to bring a concept to market in a realistic way.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin is an opportunity for the students to showcase their creative identities and share their talent with the world. The show will feature a range of collections, from highly conceptual garments through to ready-to-wear.
